The terms of the <br /> agreement are included in a Cooperative Agreement Program, CAP No. <br /> 6-57-84. <br /> The project includes $382, 000 in County pay-as-you-go funds <br /> already appropriated to the project. As written, the CAP includes a <br /> pledge of $200,000 in federal funds towards the project on a <br /> reimbursement basis. Finally, the Sheriff's Office has also received <br /> verbal assurance that the USMS will provide an additional $21,825 in <br /> grant funds to cover the remaining cost of construction contracts for <br /> the project. At the December 4, 1989 meeting, the Board of <br /> Commissioners approved construction contracts in the amount of <br /> $548,932, which combined with architect fees of $54,893, brings <br /> anticipated project costs to $603,825. <br /> Adoption of this capital project ordinance will provide for <br /> budgeted expenditures of $603,825 and offsetting revenues of $382,000 <br /> in County funding and $221, 825 in federal funding. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> Approve the proposed capital project ordinance. <br />
